Nah - save the best for last!Wow I dont think I have ever had an IPA for a buck! You must have some good prices. Yeah the Torpedo is a good deal compared to the micro brews and stuff around here but still I think the last time I got it was $9/6.
I for one think the 'Pub' section is aptly named.Question is should we bump it from the bottom of the forums to the top?
We can do that at Acme. It is a great way not to be stuck with 5 extra bottles of something nasty. Some are as much as $3.50 a bottle, but it is a good way to try the those, too.
Jubelale. And then another jubelale. With a probable 3rd jubelale on the near horizon.
We have a big retail store that sells a lot of 12-packs in the $9.99 to $12.99 range. Summit used to be the best value, but Sierra Nevada is giving them a run for their money. Red Hook is another brand. Funny thing is when Summit started getting bigger (I think it was the first micro brew in the Twin Cities, and was located just a few miles from where I live), they moved to a bigger brewery that also made Pig's Eye, which is kind of like Special Ex (Pig's Eye was the original name for St. Paul, named after the owner of the first public building down on the Mississippi River, a tavern and trading post I think. The owner lost one eye in a knife fight if I recall the story correctly, hence his name). I read 10 or 15 years ago that it only cost 25 cents more to make a case of Summit, yet it cost something like three times more than the Pig's Eye to buy. Ah, the power of marketing and distributors' cartels.Wow I dont think I have ever had an IPA for a buck! You must have some good prices.

Taking a weekend off from running, so...
time for some 'yard work.'

I was video-Skyping with my sister and her husband this morning - they were sitting in their garden each with a pint of Adnams Broadside.
I was salivating!

That was my beer of choice when I was on the "rock" last spring.

3 of the Session blacks so far. It's a bad idea to be home by myself to watch football (and study) while the wife and son are at her folks for family day.
Yup, it is good to have some Newfie relatives., Lord Tundering Jesus......
Had the SN Pale Ale, Torpedo IPA, and Tumbler while watching the Minnesota-Washington game last night on Tivo with my brother and kids. The Torpedo tore up the competition, just as RG3 tore up the Vikes.
Still working my way through a case of Full Sail IPA and Shock top nonsense. I also found out Shocktop is made by Annhauser so that again knocked it down a couple of spots. I'm not sure why I keep trying "craft" beers from the big brewers. Might as well stick with a PBR.
Don't get me wrong guys the torpedo was good it was just a bit musty or piney for my taste. Plus I was going back and forth between the Stone IPA and the Torpedo so it wasn't really fair. However for the price, I agree it is a really good IPA and I would recommend it.
Thinking about making another trip to costco to get another case to mix it up with. 24 of any beer in a row, it better be a good one.

I love the SN Torpedo, but find it a touch too strong. Can't wait for the new batch of Celebration to come out.
Did Red Hook get mentioned? They have a pretty good IPA, Long hammer I believe.
I'm finishing off some Boulevard wheat beer. Nasty stuff, but I'm not going to let it go to waste.

Never, never let beer go to waste. That is like alcohol abuse.......
